I was watching a video awhile ago.  It was of the guy who was doing the wing suit stunt with the guy who crashed into the bridge.  He was to go over and his friend was to go under.  The friend of course died instantly.  It was an interview with the survivor.  He said he hasn't been the same since.  He said that he knew about 2 dozen other wing suit folks, and six of them had died already in crashes.  He said he was thinking of just hanging it up entirely.  They are working on figuring out a way to land without a parachute.  It would involve finding the right terrain and some suit modification.  They don't have any volunteer testers, though.   :o

next thing you know, they'll mandate gear requirements.  then, due to the high costs of medical for the victims, they'll want to ban it.   ;D

They are held out by a 100+mph Relative wind.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

It would almost be worth learning to sew just to have one of those suits  [roll]
